Product Information

Full details

The Nike Dunk High Pro Decon SB Gorge Green is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, board-feel-focused trainer with a distinct retro aesthetic. Its primary benefit lies in its deconstructed design for enhanced flexibility and grip, though its minimal padding may be a consideration for those prioritizing extensive ankle support. This shoe features a monochrome green suede upper, a gum sole for traction, reduced ankle padding, and an exposed foam tongue, all contributing to a slimmer profile and superior board feel.

FAQs

Are these shoes good for professional skateboarding?

Yes, the deconstructed design, minimal padding, and gum sole are specifically engineered to enhance board feel and traction for skateboarding.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner sparingly and brush to restore the texture. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

What is the main advantage of the 'Decon' design?

The 'Decon' (deconstructed) design results in a lighter shoe with less material and padding, offering increased flexibility and a more direct board feel.

Does the shoe offer good ankle support?

These shoes have minimal padding in the ankle area to prioritize board feel. They may not provide the same level of ankle support as more padded high-top models.

What is the purpose of the Zoom Air unit?

The Zoom Air unit in the heel provides responsive cushioning to absorb impact during landings and provide comfort during wear.

What is the typical lifespan of the gum sole?

The lifespan of the gum sole depends on usage frequency and intensity. For skateboarding, expect wear over time; for casual wear, it is generally very durable.

Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?

While the gum sole offers some traction, suede is not ideal for wet conditions as it can stain and be damaged. It's best to wear these in dry weather.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.

Reduced traction on the gum sole

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust or debris that might be affecting grip.

Shoe feels too tight or stiff

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the suede to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using a shoe stretcher if persistent tightness occurs.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace the laces with a new pair. Consider a more durable lace material if this is a recurring issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and performance.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for skateboarding, these trainers are also compatible with casual everyday wear. The gum sole provides grip on various surfaces.

Care:

  3. Sole: Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain traction.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in a shoe bag or box to protect the suede.
